<p>A polymer and wood fibre composite that can be used in the form of a linear extrudate or thermoplastic pellet to manufacture structural members, for example in an extrusion process or an injection moulding process. The composite comprises a vinyl chloride polymer, wood fibre and water, and preferably also intentionally recycled impurity which might include thermoplastic polymer, adhesive, paint, or thermoplastic resin. The pellet can have a cross-section shape having a volume of at least about 12 mm<3>. Preferably the pellet is a right cylindrical pellet having a minimum radius of about 1.5 mm and a minimum length of 1 mm weighing at least 14 mg.</p> |
